Private 5G networks offer communications service providers (CSPs) a route to new revenue streams. By building private 5G networks for their enterprise customers, CSPs can enable a wide range of applications and use cases, as well as complement or upgrade their customers’ existing network technologies. However, private 5G networks have complex requirements for support, automation and integration across the value chain. Few CSPs possess the expertise to manage these requirements end-to-end for their enterprise customers. CSPs should therefore look for partners that can simplify private 5G network deployments. CSPs will then be able to focus on providing differentiated services to their enterprise customers.
